Love your leaf patch at

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

Thanks for the in depth explanation on picking out shocks.

[@grownnotflown2]

Perfect timing thanks for sharing I'm in the process of ordering rear suspension

[@575conbon]

Looks like they came out perfect! I'm working on a RUF/missing link/SPOA setup myself right now. I'm doing drz frame gusset plates, shock towers, and lower shock mounts. I used those same bump stops when I setup my CJ springs rear, will likely end up using them up front too. I measured and should be around 20" compressed, and like 28" full droop. I found newer f150 rear shocks are 18-30", so I picked up a used set for $40. Being used I'm hoping they won't be too stiff like a lot of shocks on samurais end up being.

Great video! I think we need to get together and spec out some for my YJ 😜

[@CTMadModz]

When I needed shocks for mine, I did the right thing…. I went on market place and bought a set of shocks from a guy with a 3/4 ton lifted Chevy 🤣🤣🤣

[@joeywebb2686]

Dude I just binge watched every single episode of your samurai build series! So sick! Definitely going to use a lot of the mods you did on my Samurai! Keep the sami videos coming! Had a question on your camera set up.. I was curious camera/mic/holder you we're using? Seems like its not too heavy and provides great video/audio. Thanks!

[@mathewsren9712]

Excelente video wn! Gracias

[@FlawedOffroad]

Thats funny I just did 5125s and that video posts later today. Got my daughter to help install them too. I did the opposite and went with lighter valving 170/60

[@sherwinrevere575]

Enjoyed your video . why is your shock mount on the botton of your axle. I welded mine on top of the axle that gives me 3.5 more travel.

[@thefreshestcatch7434]

Awesome vids as always brother! Long time subscriber but don’t comment as often as I should as I’m sure viewer interaction helps with feedback and future build vids.

[@kevinc3094]

What rear springs did you end up running? still using stock rear sami springs out back or did you go with the yj springs in the rear?

[@adamshartley]

What shackles are you running up front? Those look beefier than the teraflex revolvers. Way cool

[@stevencurtis2527]

So im pretty much set up exactly the same way except yj springs . so would the 25-187762 be pretty much the exact shock you would recommend?

[@lmalesci]

I have a question for you experts in the 4x4 sector! (and I would like to know if you can tell me if it is true that the ironman nitro gas shock absorbers go well with the original set-up and can be adapted with the +5? I have a Suzuki jimny 4x4 with m13a 1.3 l petrol engine with shock absorbers and standard settings, yesterday afternoon I picked up the new ironman nitro gas shock absorbers and the 4x4 spare parts dealer in Florence told me that these ironman nitro gas shock absorbers are ok for 4x4 off-road vehicles with stock trim or in a second you could put the springs higher and it becomes a +5 high trim is that true? Greetings from Florence Italy!)

[@noelrodriguez6337]

Do these shocks come in a pair ? Keep up the great work btw 👍👍

[@P.Trim69]

yes sir had to resub

[@tripled7872]

Are the front and rear eyelets both 5/8

[@ernestochamorro1]

is this it ? What leaf sting is that ? Suzuki rear up front or jy spring ?
